This seems to be a black and white issue for many, always Yes or always No.

As with most thigns I feel the truth is somewhere in the middle.

It’s a spectrum

IMO

A biological man who never underwent puberty and never got the benefits of higher testosterone etc. should be allowed in women’s sports.

But, someone like Usain Bolt, who because of undergoing male puberty has bigger bones than he would have had if he didn’t, should never be allowed to compete in women’s sports.

Where we draw the line, I don’t know, but I don’t think it’s black or white.

    I don’t. There doesn’t need to be a line.

    Just let the sports associations each make their rules and decide on conflicts when they come up, as they have always done.

    Most of them have very lax rules because it really isn’t a problem that comes up often.

      I can accept spots deciding for themselves.

      However a lot of sports have decided that trans women who went through male puberty aren’t allowed in their women’s devision.
